Where did the -1 come from o.O?

You factor it out, its just like
\[
2(x+2)=2x+4
\]

\[
-(a+b)=-a-b
\]

\[
-1\times a + -1\times b = -1(a+b)
\]

Hello.
How do you get your Ti-nspire Cx Cas calculator out of Set-to-test mode?!!

Hey guys, I've got two questions -
1) Is it possible to map transformations from a matrix onto a function using the TI-nspire?
2) How would I work through the questions that I've attached? I understand how matrix transformations work, but I'm struggling to work through mapping inverse functions.
Cheers!

Hello.

You'll need to connect it to a computer with the Ti-nSpire CAS software, and there's an option to exit press-to-test mode. Ask your teacher.

Yes, but i think it's probably more trouble than its worth.

For the first one (the second one is pretty much the same), find x' and y' by multiplying that 2x2 matrix by [x y] (as a column matrix, of course). That will give x' = 3y and y' = –2x. Then solve for y in terms of x', x in terms of y', and substitute into the original equation to get (x'/3) = 2(-y'/2) + 3. Rearrange to y = mx + c form.

Hey again,

How would I use the chain rule to differentiate the following? I couldn't really see how it ties into the problem, when I took g'(x) I got a result of 1/tan(x) and then simplified g'(pi/4) to 1/1 = 1, but the examiner's report says otherwise. Could someone please point out why I'm wrong?

have you attached the right question? It seems to not be relevant.

Thanks for pointing that out - I've attached the correct question now >.<

Just make sure that when you are differentiating logs the structures is if g(x) = log(f(x)) then g'(x) = f'(x)/f(x)

I’ve just started learning inverse functions (I’m not behind, am I?!) and I don’t really understand how to find the domain and range of an inverse so could somebody please explain it to me?
So for example...

For the following function find the inverse and state it’s domain and range
f:[-2,0] —> R, f(x) = 2x - 4
So, I found that the inverse is...
f^-1 (x) = 1/2 (x+4)

I’m just not sure how to find the domain and range.

Something I found helpful to understanding this topic was to graph out the given function, the inverse function, and the function \(f(x)=x\)

Doing this, you will see that the domain of the given function is the range of the inverse function and vice versa.
Spoiler
In your equation, the Range would be \([-2,0]\) and the domain would be \([1,2]\)

I’m sorry, I still don’t understand...  :-[

So graph out  2x-4 , 1/2(x+4) and then what would the last one be??
I kinda get the idea of that line where it reflects but still not completely sure. Could you just explain a lil more please? :)

\(f(x)=x\) is the function of the line \(y=x\). As you guessed, this is the line of reflection for the graphs and is the reason that the \(\text {domain}^1 = \text {range} ^{-1}\)

How to solve?

log e |x^2 - 5x - 6 | = 0

|x^2 - 5x - 6 | = 0

This is modulus and is not in the methods course.
